DevLearn 2014 Conference & Expo - October 31, 2014

JD Dillon

Chief Learning Architect Axonify

As learning and development professionals, we often spend a
significant amount of our time trying to put together the pieces of a giant
organizational puzzle so we can do our jobs. We are, in many ways, the
middlemen between those who know and those who need to learn. L&D must
reposition itself away from its current role as an information conveyor and
leverage its unique skills to help people find and use information to improve
their performance.

In this session participants will discuss the value of
user-generated content as a way to overcome many modern L&D challenges. You
will review the collaboration principles and tools Kaplan continues to use to
break through common barriers to curating and sharing user-generated content,
including technical limitations, regulatory concerns, and employee motivation.
You will also discuss ways this content can be used to create powerful
on-demand and targeted learning experiences that scale. Participants will leave
this session with actionable ideas on how to transform valuable tacit
information into meaningful, crowd-sourced, well-curated, user-generated
content.

In this session,
you will learn:

How to shift the focus of your
organization’s information culture from consumption to contribution

Four proven methods for motivating
users to share what they know all the time

Collaborative principles Kaplan used
to build its enterprise social network and knowledge curation platform

How to use simple video to add context
to traditional online reference materials

How user-generated content can help
L&D focus its resources on more meaningful and timely learning experiences

Audience:Novice to advanced designers, developers, project managers, managers,
directors, and VPs with a basic understanding of the concepts of user-generated
content, online video, and enterprise social networking tools.
